No queries are performed against the data in motion. This is simply a mechanism for transporting transaction or event from the source to a database.Transport times are <1 second.Example: connect to desktop trading applications and transport trade events to an Oracle database.

ETL, sophisticated algorithms, complex business logic, and even queries can be applied to the stream of events as they are in motion. Analytics span across all data sources and, thus, all business functions.Transport and analytics occur in < 1 second.Example: connect to desktop trading applications, market data feeds, social media, and provide instantaneous trending reports. Allow traders to subscribe to information pertinent to their trades and have analytics applied in real-time for personalized reporting.
